Early Termination of Probation

When placed on probation, the court will impose a period of time in which you will serve your sentence. In misdemeanor cases, probationary periods typically range from 6-12 months, depending on the charge. For felony cases, the probationary periods can be significantly longer.​Probation almost always comes with conditions. Aside from not getting re-arrested, the terms of your probation will dictate what you have to do. Many times it may be the successful completion of a class, such as anger management, theft class, or drug and alcohol education. You may also be ordered to complete a certain number of community service hours. If there are allegations of stolen or damaged property, or medical bills as a result of an injury, you will be ordered to pay restitution. If you are successful in completing all of your terms and conditions of probation, you may be eligible to seek early termination of your probationary sentence. In Central Florida, Judges will take into consideration your criminal history, length of time you have been on probation, whether or not you have violated any terms or conditions of your probation, and whether you have paid off your fines, court costs and restitution, if applicable.

The simple benefit of having your probation terminated is being able to move on with your life and no longer having to worry about violating your probation for any minor infraction.
